Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 27 Returning to the Farm

"Xiao Feng, come down quickly, it's very comfortable in the water. ✌😳 ➅➈ѕ𝓱𝔲乂.𝔠𝓞𝐦 ☟🐠"

Aya and Mochizuki Yuki spoke to Chiba Kaede on the beach.

Actually, Chiba Kaede has a fear of water now. In his past life, he sank into the water while trying to save someone, and the feeling of suffocation still makes him shudder when he thinks about it.

In this world, Chiba Kaede suffered a natural disaster, which caused her entire family to be swept into the sea and tragically perish.

Chiba Kaede felt that he and water were somewhat incompatible, but he also knew that it was just a coincidence, and he just couldn't overcome his fear of water for the time being.

"Come out, mosquito coil tadpoles!"

The mosquito coil tadpole, once released, looked around, still somewhat shaken by its morning's experience.

However, upon seeing the vast ocean, it forgot everything else, hopped around a few times, and then jumped into the sea with a splash.

Once the tadpoles entered the sea, they felt like they were back home, flapping their tail fins and swimming leisurely in the water.

After having the tadpoles, Chiba Kaede's heart finally felt a little more at ease.

Meanwhile, Chiba Kaede was also trying to overcome his fear of water and slowly walked into the sea. However, he dared not go too deep and stopped when the water was just up to his chest.

This kind of fear cannot be completely overcome in a short time. The fact that he was able to do this already shows a lot of courage.

When Aya and Mochizuki Yuki saw Chiba Kaede's condition, they knew he might not be very good at swimming, so they didn't urge him any further and started playing in the water on their own.

Chiba Kaede only soaked in the seawater for a while, and finding it uninteresting, he went up to the shop in front to buy some drinks and soda for the others, as he was also a bit thirsty.

"Hello, I noticed your Poliwag is doing quite well. I'd like to invite you and my Mudkip to a Pokémon battle?"

Just as Chiba Kaede finished buying his drink and returned to his recliner, a boy slightly younger than him ran over and said something to him.

"Hello, my name is Chiba Kaede. I generally don't refuse requests for Pokémon battles!"

Chiba Kaede was already feeling a bit bored, so this was a good opportunity to have a Pokémon battle.

"Great! My name is Takano Ryuji. Let's go to that less crowded beach over there!"

The little boy introduced himself happily.

Then, Chiba Kaede waved to the Mosquito Coil Tadpole. Without hesitation, the Mosquito Coil Tadpole that Chiba Kaede had summoned hopped over to him.

"Poliwag, you're going to have a Pokémon battle later, so do your best!"

If we lose badly, you'll have to train twice as hard when we get back, understand?

Upon hearing Chiba Kaede's words, Mosquito Coil Tadpole shuddered and immediately declared that it would do its best.

Hearing the commotion, Aysa and Mochizuki Yuki swam up from the sea. Without any hesitation, they each grabbed a bottle of beverage and started drinking.

After hearing that Chiba Kaede was going to have a Pokémon battle with someone, everyone said they would go and cheer her on.

Afterwards, the group arrived at the edge of the beach, where the sand was of poor quality and there were fewer tourists.

"Chiba Kaede and Takano Ryuji are about to engage in a 1v1 Pokémon battle. Both of you, please release your Pokémon!"

Aya volunteered to be the referee between the two, leaving Chiba Kaede somewhat speechless at her overly formal behavior.

"Go, Mudkip!"

Ryuji Takano shouted with great enthusiasm, showing that he was a very passionate person.

"You should go too, Mosquito Coil Tadpole!"

Chiba Kaede said to the mosquito coil tadpoles at his feet.

"Both Pokémon are in position, let the match begin!"

Aysa shouted with great enthusiasm. ඏ🌷 🐸💀

"Let's show our spirit! Leap Fish, unleash the water guns!"

Ryuji Takano shouted loudly.

"We'll use a water gun too, you mosquito coil tadpoles!"

Chiba Kaede didn't want to use any fancy tricks anymore; she just wanted to compete with Mudkip in terms of strength.

However, looking at the intensity of the water guns used by both sides, Chiba Kaede was somewhat speechless.

Ryuji Takano's Mudkip was probably only recently caught and hadn't been trained yet. Its water gun was weak and was deflected by Poliwag's water gun, which then hit Takano instead.

Fortunately, Mudkip is a Water-type Pokémon, so Water Gun doesn't do much damage to it.

"Mumpfish, summon your courage, charge forward, and use Tackle!"

Ryuji Takano didn't dwell on the previous defeat and continued to command the Mudkip to attack.

"Mosquito coil tadpole, a series of slaps!"

Chiba Kaede glanced at the Mudkip rushing towards the Poliwag tadpole and then said.

"Slap, slap, slap, slap!"

Because of Chiba Kaede's pre-match intimidation, the Poliwag now dared not hold back. It used all its strength to slap the charging Mudkip four times, instantly making the Mudkip dizzy and unable to get up.

"Mutant, are you alright?!"

When he saw his Mudkip lying on the ground, Ryuji Takano rushed over to check on it. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mudkip had only temporarily fainted.

The mosquito coil tadpole has undergone weighted training by Chiba Kaede, and now its tail strength is much stronger than before the training. When it hits the Mudskipper, it feels like being whipped.

"The match is over, the mosquito coil tadpole wins!"

Aysa announced at the opportune moment.

"Chiba Kaede, your Poliwag is amazing! But I won't give up. Once I've trained my Mudkip to be even stronger, I'll challenge you again!"

After Takano Ryuji finished speaking, he picked up Mudkip and ran away, presumably to take it to the Pokémon Center for treatment.

Chiba Kaede was speechless after hearing this. He and Takano Ryuji hadn't exchanged contact information, so how was Takano going to contact him later?

"Xiao Feng, your mosquito coil tadpoles are training quite well!"

Aysa walked over, patted Chiba Kaede on the shoulder, and said.

"Asa, I've been training really hard, you know!"

Chiba Kaede looked at Aysa speechlessly and said.

"Then why don't you become a trainer and instead run a farm?!"

Aysa was also a little puzzled by this. Chiba Kaede's Swellow had defeated her main Pokémon, Lava Snail. It was a pity that someone like that wasn't a trainer.

"I'm a trainer now, I just run a farm on the side!"

Chiba Kaede explained.

Aysa was not satisfied with Chiba Kaede's explanation, but since Chiba Kaede was unwilling to say more, she didn't press him further.

The group played on the beach until evening before going to the same restaurant as yesterday for dinner.

"Xiao Feng, why don't you stay in Kaina City for a few more days before going back?"

Mochizuki Yuki would be staying in Kaina City for a few more days, so she tried to persuade Chiba Kaede to stay longer.

"No, I've been out for three days already. If I don't go back soon, I'm afraid something might happen at the farm!"

Chiba Kaede could only say apologetically.

"Alright, little Feng, you have something to do, so go back first. I'll stay here with you for a few days; it'll be just as good."

Asa took Mochizuki Yuki's arm and said.

Asa came to Kaina City to relax, and staying a few more days wouldn't make any difference.

"Alright then, but if I ever come to Hoenn again, could I visit your farm?"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Chiba to stay, Mochizuki Yuki tentatively said...

She was still very curious about Chiba Kaede's description of his farm and planned to visit it when she had time in the future.

"Of course you're welcome, Asha too! You're welcome to visit my farm anytime you have time!"

Chiba Kaede extended an invitation to the two of them.

"It's a deal then, no backing out!"

Afterwards, Chiba Kaede parted ways with the two and returned to the Pokémon Center to retrieve her luggage.

"Come out, Great Swallow!"

Chiba Kaede released the King Swallow, which had recovered. Its eyes were sharp and its spirits were high, completely different from yesterday.

Chiba felt that this trip to Slateport City was perfect, and it allowed him to truly experience the beauty of the Pokémon world.

This was a completely different life experience from his initial experience of surviving in the wilderness upon arrival; this was the kind of yearning and aspiration he had for this world in his previous life.

"Boss, you're back!"

Terada Yuri said happily when she saw Chiba Kaede push the door open and come in.

"Yes, I'm back. Thank you for your hard work these past few days, Yuri!"

When Chiba Kaede returned to the farm, it was already 7:30 p.m. This time, the Great Queen Swellow returned from Kaina City even faster than it had gone there, arriving at Chiba Farm in less than half an hour.

"Boss, have you had dinner yet? If not, I can make you some."

Terada Yuri asked.

"I had dinner before I got back, so don't worry!"

Chiba Kaede replied with a smile.

Chiba Kaede felt a sense of peace upon returning to Chiba Farm, as if this was where his roots truly lay, and the outside world was merely a fleeting scene, while only this place belonged to him forever.

Your support is my motivation to create!
